Sunday 21st June saw Meigle visit The Larder for the first time in over 14 years. The sun was high in the sky and the match got under way with KCC battings first. Saly, Rob Cooper, who was taking up his first captaincy role was clean bowled with the very first ball of the game. Alex Tweedy and Ant Drew put on a 39 partnership before Alex was bowled in the 13th over on 22. Fraser Laing came into bat with his now legendary big hitting power and hit the first out of the ground for six. Only six overs later the team score was 105 when Fraser fell on 47 after he hit seven 6’s. Ant was next to fall having scored a well-structured 31. Louis McGough batted through for an unbeaten 11 with Rahul Khanduja, Derek Cooper, Marco Rattezo and Nathan Ferguson all adding to the team total. Nathan was run out of the very last ball with the team on 138 for 8.
In reply, Meigle lost their first wicket in the second over with an excellent catch for Rahul off Nathan’s bowling. Louis’s bowling is worthy of mention with 3 overs, 2 maidens and only 2 runs. This level of accuracy form Louis, Rob, Nathan and Rahul kept Meigle from scoring as the first ten overs yielded only 25 runs. Rahul was exceptional as he bowled 6 overs for 4 wickets and only 7 runs, his best KCC performance to date. John Ross added a further 2 wickets off his 3 overs and Marco picked up 2 in his 2 overs. When the final Meigle wicket fell after a great run out from Fraser, they were all out for 69.
Batting honours went to Fraser but man of the match for his 4 wickets and 2 great catches went to Rahul.
